• Burger Box looks ahead to rebuild and reopen (nbcpalmsprings.com) — An Indio favorite, Burger Box, is moving from crisis to comeback one month after a car crashed into the restaurant. Owners say insurance and police updates now let them focus on rebuilding, reshaping the business, and eventually reopening, encouraged by strong community support and confirmation the crash was ruled an accident. 
• Preliminary hearing resumes today for Silvercrest CEO charged with murder in Cathedral City hit-and-run (kesq.com) — A closely watched preliminary hearing is resuming today at the Larson Justice Center in Indio, where a judge will decide if there's enough evidence to try a business executive in a fatal Cathedral City hit-and-run case. Testimony so far has focused on surveillance video, vehicle evidence, and prior driving history, while the defense challenges whether investigators can prove who was behind the wheel.
